H1725 דָּהַר dâhar → Root

2 languages

Root of the דהר dâhar family (3 members).

To move swiftly, particularly with a sense of leaping, bounding, or charging forward as in the motion of a horse; the word conveys the idea of rapid, energetic, and sometimes erratic movement, typically applied to equestrian or chariot imagery. It suggests vigorous and forceful motion, whether in battle or ceremonial display, emphasizing speed and dynamic action rather than precise direction.

Etymology Root: דהר. The root meaning is 'to move swiftly' or 'to rush.' The verb form reflects the act of charging or dashing, especially in reference to a horse or chariot in motion. The lexical meaning, however, develops specifically toward the action of surging forward energetically, rather than a generic sense of movement.
